We study a lattice model of two perpendicular intersecting flows of pedestrians represented by hard core particles of two types, eastbound (`$\pE$') and northbound (`$\pN$'). Each flow takes place on a strip of width $M$ so that the…
Diagonal or chevron patterns are known to spontaneously emerge at the intersection of two perpendicular flows of self-propelled particles, e.g. pedestrians. The instability responsible for this pattern formation has been studied in previous…
Understanding pattern formation in crossing pedestrian flows is essential for analyzing and managing high-density crowd dynamics in urban environments. This study presents two complementary methodological approaches to detect and…
We analyze the pattern formation in systems of active particles with chiral forces in the context of pedestrian dynamics. To describe the interparticle interactions, we use the standard social force model and supplement it with a new type…
At the intersection of two unidirectional traffic flows a stripe formation instability is known to occur. In this paper we consider coupled time evolution equations for the densities of the two flows in their intersection area. We show…
When two streams of pedestrians cross at an angle, striped patterns spontaneously emerge as a result of local pedestrian interactions. This clear case of self-organized pattern formation remains to be elucidated. In counterflows, with a…
It has become widely known that when two flows of pedestrians cross stripes emerge spontaneously by which the pedestrians of the two walking directions manage to pass each other in an orderly manner. In this work, we report about the…
In two intersecting many-particle streams, one can often find the emergence of oscillatory patterns. Here, we investigate the interaction of pedestrians with vehicles, when they try to cross a road. A numerical study of this coupled…
First we consider a unidirectional flux \omega_bar of vehicles each of which is characterized by its `natural' velocity v drawn from a distribution P(v). The traffic flow is modeled as a collection of straight `world lines' in the…
Traffic safety at intersections is studied quantitatively using methods from Statistical Mechanics on the basis of simple microscopic traffic flow models. In order to determine a relationship between traffic flow and the number of crashes,…
Oscillatory flow patterns have been observed in many different driven many-particle systems. The conventional assumption is that the reason for emergent oscillations in opposing flows is an increased efficiency (throughput). In this…
The intersecting pedestrian flow on the 2D lattice with random update rule is studied. Each pedestrian has three moving directions without the back step. Under periodic boundary conditions, an intermediate phase has been found at which some…
Designing efficient traffic lanes for pedestrians is a critical aspect of urban planning as walking remains the most common form of mobility among the increasingly diverse methods of transportation. Herein, we investigate pedestrian counter…
We present experimental results obtained for a one-dimensional flow using high precision motion capture. The full pedestrians' trajectories are obtained. In this paper, we focus on the fundamental diagram, and on the relation between the…
We numerically study the impact of impulse stops on pedestrian flow for a straight corridor with multiple attractions. The impulse stop is simulated by the switching behavior model, a function of the social influence strength and the number…
We use the asymmetric simple exclusion process for describing vehicular traffic flow at the intersection of two streets. No traffic lights control the traffic flow. The approaching cars to the intersection point yield to each other to avoid…
Dense granular flows are often unstable and form inhomogeneous structures. Although significant advances have been recently made in understanding simple flows, instabilities of such flows are often not understood. We present experimental…
Based on simulations with the ``intelligent driver model'', a microscopic traffic model, we explain the recently discovered transition from free over ``synchronized'' traffic to stop-and-go patterns [B. S. Kerner, Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 3797…
We investigate both experimentally and theoretically the traffic of particles flowing in microfluidic obstacle networks. We show that the traffic dynamics is a non-linear process: the particle current does not scale with the particle…
As a typical self-driven many-particle system far from equilibrium, traffic flow exhibits diverse fascinating non-equilibrium phenomena, most of which are closely related to traffic flow stability and specifically the growth/dissipation…
